' UNITED STATES PATENT oFFicE I CONTAINER FORMING AND FIIJJNG MACHINE Michael J. Milmoc, Chicago, 111., assignor to F. B. Redington 00., Chicago, Ill., a corporation of Illinois Application Dccember ll, 1929, Serial No. 413,338

' 43 Claims.

compound materials so that the article which is wrapped may be visible through the material and at the same time protected against dust and dirt which has a tendency to collect on the articles while the same are being shipped or while they are on display.

The wrapped articles may, if desired, be placed within a second container such as a carton hav ing flaps at the opposite ends thereof for closing the carton. However, the present invention relates merely to wrapping the article in a dustproof container, it being understood that the article may, if desired,'thereafter be placed in a second container.

Another objectof this invention is to provide awrapping machine which utilizes blanks which are automatically formed into a container by the The means for forming the blanks into suitable containe1s,incliides means for alining the blanks into a position'adiacent the container forming mechanism, such alining means being of novel form as will be hereinafter pointed out. 7

Another object of this invention is theprovlsion of a machine in which the c'ontainers are. slipped over the articlesas said articles are moved along a predetermined path. In ordinary machines or this'nature, the article is moved into the container, but in the present device it is more practical to provide means for moving -the container over the article in view of the fact that the container can be slipped off the form directly over the article, whereas if the article were to be moved into the container, it would be necessary to strip the containero off the form and position it at a place where the article could be received thereby, thereby making it necessary to provide an additional operationin the packaging of the article. j

Another -object of this invention is' to, provide an improved form of means for sealing the open ends of the container. The means for sealing the ends of the container includes means, for forming preliminary folds in the ends of the container, placlnga small quantityof glue in the folds, and thereafter producing additional folds-in the ends of the container in such a manner as to cause the 1 glue to at least partially seal-the 'open' ends of the 7 container and hold the folds in proper position.

. A more specific object of this invention resides in providing'a blue applying means for applying the glue at selected positions with respect to the folds and in predetermined amounts.

Another object of this invention resides in' providing means for producing a double fold in each' of the ends of the container to more securely hold the material of the said ends in position to close the open ends of the container.

Another object of this invention is to provide wrapper, thus insuring that the folds will be properly maintained in the wrapper while the succeeding operations take place.

I an improved means for creasing the folds ofthe Another object of this invention is to curve or otherwise distort the double fold produced at the ends of thecohtainers and in substantially the direction of the double fold. This assists iii hold-' ing the portions of the double fold in abutting relationship with each other without the necessity ofspecial holding or, sealing means forthis purpose; at least this operation causes the portions of the double fold to more nearly occupy their intended positions than is possible with a straigh fold which is not curved or crlmped. Still another object ofthislnvention is to provide an-improved means for folding theopposite ends of the container to produce double folds in each end by means which operates first to produce a partial fold and immediately-thereafter producesthe' complete fold by substantially the same movement of the parts" comprising this iold 'ing means.

Another object of this invention resides in the means for stripping the containers oi! the former an auxiliarymeans for assisting the means referred to in the previous paragraph, this latter means causing the last portion of them'ovement of the container oiftheiormer and into alined position o'verthe article being wrapped.
